CNY products @ Cow, Car, Water (牛车水) a.k.a. Chinatown

Lap Cheong...
A big "Product of Malaysia" sign is being displayed in this stall. Meaning? Singaporeans do not trust China products anymore...


Kat Zai...


Handmade Decorative - Made from Ang Pao


Another handmade lantern. They also sell the 'mini pineapple' separately. $2 per one 'mini pineapple'


I forgot what is this. They are either Nuts or some fish.... from Taiwan


I love this. Jelly from Taiwan, they taste like Japanese Konniyaku Jelly.
Kinda expensive. $15 per box if I am not mistaken. Last year I bought 3 boxes for $10 - on second last day, because they want to clear the stock ma... Told u guys, don't buy now, wait till last minute...


I think this one is cheap. 5 for $6 bottles only.


Neh~ This is the 'Chee Sin' expensive Gua zi that I said in the previous post. 500 Grams $6...


Anyone know the price of a can of New Moon Abalone in Malaysia? Please inform me if you do, thanks... I need to get it from SG if it is cheaper in SG.

Chinese New Year Light Up @ Chinatown

Jalan Jalan in Chinatown with Chloe again last Thursday. Went there because we heard that there are 600 stalls selling CNY products. Being cheated d. Where got 600 stalls? At most mar 200 stalls only. And the things that they sell are very expensive. SGD$6.00 per 500 grams of 'Gua ci' (Sun Flower seeds), crazy!
The main purpose we went there is to check the prices out. This coming CNY going to be my third CNY in SG. For the past two years, the prices dropped like crazy 2-3 days before the first day of Chinese new year. Taiwan 'Mua chi' price at SGD$1.80 per 100 grams at first, ended up you only need to pay SGD$3.00, then the seller will give you one plastic bag, just fill the plastic bag up with the "mua chi" on your own!!! You can grab as many as you want, as long as they can be fitted into the plastic bag. I won't buy anything there now, will wait till last minute. lol What to do, 'Giam Siap" ma...

The Art Of Tea Tasting

No, my dear and I are not PRO in Chinese tea. But, he does has a collection of Tea leaves. I know how to drink only. lol
We used to have Tea Tasting Sessions when we are free. I miss those Tea Tasting sessions!
Dear ar, when can we have the next Tea Tasting session?

OK, briefly show you guys how we prepare the tea. We might have left out some of the steps, as I mentioned, we are not PRO, we are learners.

Clean all 'utensils' - preferably with hot water


Put some tea leaves into the tea pot, and pour boiling water over the tea leaves


Pour the tea out almost immediately - the main purpose of doing this is to clean the tea leaves without 'washing' away it's taste


Use the 'first round' tea to clean all the 'utensils' again


Pour boiling water over the tea leaves again (second round).


Wait for one minute before pouring out the 'second round' tea from the tea pot to the 'tea leaves filter'.


Remove the 'tea filter' from the tea jug


Pour the tea into tea cups


Ready to serve....




p/s: Hope you enjoyed the 'mini tutorial' on Chinese tea preparation...

Cousin's Wedding @ Palace Group

Friends and relatives are getting married one after another. Lots of them already taken their Pre-Wedding shoots, booked Hotels or restaurants for the dinner, most importantly their wedding dates have been set. I wonder where and when my wedding ceremony will be held.

Attended Khean Hoe's wedding dinner with my family members yesterday. It was such a nice scene seeing all relatives are eating and 'yum seng' together. Handsome groom and beautiful bride, Hoe and Yen, wish both of you a great happiness of life and living happily ever after.
